Question

Anyone else having abdominal pain?

Share

I've been to the hospital 4 times in the past month due to abdominal pain, it first started to hit about a day before I found out I was pregnant. I am now 9 weeks along. Both hospitals I've been to said to rest and refrain from strenuous activity, which I have been. But neither hospital can find the exact cause of the pain, they just keep throwing guesses at me. So far, ectopic pregnancy has been ruled out, and I haven't been bleeding so miscarriage has been ruled out. I asked if it could be due to my prior c-sections with my other two children, but one doctor laughed and said scars don't hurt, so it's not because of my growing uterus pulling on my scar tissue. Anyone else experiencing this or know about this so I can be more informed of what's going on? I'm desperate at this point.

I am only 5 1/2 weeks along and I'm experiencing the exact same kind of pain and I believe that it has something to do with the scarring that I have had. So don't feel bad, I'm feeling the same as you are.

I know this post is quite old now but I wanted to share my experience. I am 8 weeks and 6 days and yesterday I ended up in the hospital due to abdominal pain. It felt like stabbing pains on my right side but when the doctors were poking around it turned out to be in the middle around where my uterus is. They ruled out ectopic pregnancy and everything looked fine so they had no idea why I was in so much pain. 1 day later and i am still in pain and noticed i have been going to the toilet more frequently and constantly feel like i need to go. The pain isnt so bad when i lie down but whenbi stand oh my gosh does it hurt. I atill do not know what it is and am hoping it is my uterus growing. I do have endometriosis and my pregnancy was achieved by ivf so not sure if that has anythjng to do with it?
Im glad the baby is fine but now i want to know, what is thia pain :(

I too have been having pains. My doctor thinot I might be miscarrying but so far I have no bleeding. I go back in 3 days to see if there is a heartbeat. I am 7 wks today. It scares me because I had a miscarriage Dec 2013. I pray that everything is ok. I still have big symptoms of pregnancy so hopefully my prayers are being answered. Cramps are actually normal during pregnancy. It's hard to tell the good ones from the bad .

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think it is important for everyone to understand that you don't have to have bleeding to have a miscarriage. Yes, it is one of the symptoms, but I had a miscarriage and had no clue...no bleeding, no cramping, nothing...we were shocked when we found out. Again sorry to scare everyone, but knowledge is power...if you are cramping...REST!!

I am having the same issues. I am 11 weeks along today and no previous children. When I sit still I feel no pain. But when I pull up the heavy comforter on the bed or roll over to my other side I keep getting intense stabbing pains in my lower abdomin. One thing that makes it a little harder is that I have also had morning sickness day and night. I hope these symptoms subside soon.

Completely know what your talking about. It tweeks when I turn. I have had 2 c-sections. When they went back in on my 2nd the doctor told me I had a lot of adhesions which could cause the pain. He said he placed a product called Seprafilm that prevents adhesions from occuring. It's been a few years and I haven't felt the stiches as I did before. I'd ask your doctor about this Seprafilm stuff.

I am 7 weeks pregnant and just started to have lower abdominal pain. it hurts to go from a laying to a sitting position- i get a sharp pain from my pelvic bone to my belly button. I dont remmember this with my last pg- but that was 11 years ago. is this normal? i havent had y first ob apt yet i will in the next 3 weeks.
